Abstract
The kinetics of the chlorination of zinc oxide has been studied by thermogravimetry between 723 and 973 K. The starting temperature for the reaction of ZnO with chlorine is determined at about 498 K. The influence of gaseous flow rate, sample mass, temperature, and chlorine partial pressure in the reaction rate is analyzed. It is established that the reaction occurs under mixed control, being pore diffusion coupled with chemical reaction as the rate controlling step. An apparent reaction order of 0.5 with respect to chlorine partial pressure was determined. A kinetic model for the chlorination reaction of porous solids under mixed control determined an intrinsic reaction order of zero with respect to partial pressure of chlorine and an intrinsic activation energy of 249 kJ mol−1.
